Background

 

The Northern Rowing Council with the help of British Rowing set up the Explore Rowing Sunday League series in 2012. The series each year is aimed at recreational rowers, novices, recent graduates of learn to row courses and those returning to rowing.

 

In 2015, the fourth year of the series, we kicked off on 29 March at Tyne United, Round 1 at Talkin Tarn in March having been postponed (and later run in September). Unfortunately Round 3 at Tynemouth in May was also cancelled, so eventually we ran 7 out of 8 of the events.

 

Five events have been Splash & Dash with two lane side-by-side racing over a short sprint course; however, there were two Skills Head days, which comprised a longer time trial with water skill tests interspersed.  There have been both sweep oar and sculling events.
